How is the Time Machine the story of socialism gone wrong? It’s so clearly meant to portray where society is headed under capitalism. It contains all the hallmarks of a basic socialist critique of capitalist society - your failure to recognise and engage with this, while pointing to it being a warning regarding socialism (something Wells believed in) shows your lack of knowledge on the subject. Read a bit of socialist critique - Marx’s Communist Manifesto is only a little pamphlet.

I live only a 5 minute drive from HG WELLS home Spade House in Sandgate,Kent,. He also had another house in sandgate before and for the first 3 yrs of my life I lived just a couple of hundred yards from both. I Love The Time Machine and War of the Worlds, The invisible Man.

Whilst H.G. Wells' sci-fi works are, undoubtedly, the headline act, please don't underestimate his 'other' novels, recommended amongst which I would include 'The History of Mr Polly', 'Kipps' and the prescient morality tale 'Tonay Bungay'.

Why do so many great writers, like Wells, Lovecraft, and too many others, turn out to be so destructive to the people around them? Or themselves? Take Robert E. Howard committing suicide. He created such an influential body of work as the grandfather of Sword and Sorcery, but his own humanity scared him.

Wells is the inventor of one of the most popular pastimes for the young (and not so young): strategy board games with miniatures. Millions of fans of games like Warhammer 40000 or De Bellis Antiquitatis, who daily drag various miniature figures on the most different boards and terrains around the world (or virtual versions on the computer) are the heirs of Herbert George, who pioneered this type of entertainment with the book "Board Games" published in 1911. After this book, he also wrote "Little Wars" (1913), which is dedicated to the development of this type of social games, but also to their role in the development of intelligence and education for children. Role-playing games, such as Dungeons & Dragons or Call of Cthulhu, are partly inspired by Wells' ideas.

Father of modern science fiction? CRAP! All his works were plagerized from Mr. Simon Whistler's writings. H.G. Wells took all the stories Mr. Whistler threw in the trash. Wells just took the credit.

This dude didn't "predict" anything. He was a part of the elite who work on behalf of the NWO beast system. Huxleys were known eugenicists who hated mankind and believed their class has the right to rule over all of the world's resources, and has the the right to chose who lives and who dies. With 90% of us being looked down upon as "useless eaters". This guy "predicted" many things because he was in the club and told what the plan was. Then he would simply write about it. HG Wells and Huxley weren't prominent writers because they were great writers. They were promoted and made prominent because they were parts of the eugenics circles which the elites love so much.

Wells' father, Joe, and mother, Sarah, "had differences" most assuredly:. he a "freethinker" and she a Protestant Christian....explains a lot. It's clear whose influence prevailed. I wonder to what extent his exposure was to the Bible, which I suppose he did have in the various schools he attended. In the wider culture, the Bible was under virolent assault using the newfound idealogy of Evolution. He started out a "optimist." He became a confirmed Darwinist, activist for Socialism, and practitioner of "sexual freedom." He ended a jaded cynic.
